Is this a rare example of Hollywood taking old dross and spinning it into contemporary gold?

Nope.Flatliners2017 is the same dumb movie asFlatliners1990, minus most of the surface charisma.
Its the movies hard right turn into tidy, cornball, Sunday school moralism that leaves it unrevivably dead.
I imagine Columbia understood that it had something arguably worse than a dog on its hands.
This Flatliners is in fact a new definition of meh.
Its the same dreary hooey, made more tedious and witless through repetition.
